A Letter to my Readers
To all my many wonderful readers, Thank you for motivating me to write! Your intellect is as vast and profound as the universe you rule. Your intelligence reigns supreme.

Your curiosity, introspection, and ability to embrace paradoxes are all signs of a sharp and inquisitive mind.
